Chapter 28 The spirit of anti-big struggle will shine forever

Kangda has grown and grown bathed in the spring wind and dew of the Yan'an spirit.The spirit and style of the Anti-Japanese War is the concrete embodiment of the revolutionary spirit and fine style of Yan'an.As batches of graduates went to various battlefields, this revolutionary spirit and fine style of work spread to various places, took root and blossomed, and produced fruitful fruits, which had a huge impact at home and abroad. On May 26, 1939, Comrade Mao Zedong spoke highly of the Anti-Japanese War in his article "Being Opposed by the Enemy Is a Good Thing, Not a Bad Thing" written for the third anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War.He pointed out: "Why is the Anti-Japanese University famous all over the country, and also a little famous abroad? It is because it is the most revolutionary and progressive compared with all the anti-Japanese military schools, and it is the most capable of fighting for national liberation and social liberation. Visit Yan'an I think this is the reason.” On January 10, 1939, Comrade Nie Rongzhen, commander and political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, wrote an enthusiastic letter to the Anti-Japanese University. The letter praised Kangda University under the leadership of the head of the school, "due to the hard work of all the faculty and staff, and the firm, brave, lively and active school spirit cultivated by young students from all over the country, Kangda University has become a world-renowned training cadre for national salvation. The highest institution of higher learning. The cadres trained by the Anti-Japanese University were scattered in many parts of the country to lead the Anti-Japanese War, and they even carried forward the spirit of heroic sacrifice.

The Anti-Japanese University has not only been widely praised at home, but also has a good influence abroad.Snow, Smedley, Bethune, Kotnis, Ma Haide, Miller, Alley and other international friends who have been to Baoan Yan'an and various anti-Japanese base areas have visited the Anti-Japanese University, and some have given speeches at the Anti-Japanese University, praising the Anti-Japanese War. Great achievement.American journalist Edgar Snow introduced the situation of the first phase of the Anti-Japanese War in detail in his book "A Journey to the West".He wrote: "The Red Army University has many unique places." I am afraid there is only such a family in the world.” In July 1938, the Secretary-General of the World Federation of Students, Ke Leman (later Secretary of the World Federation of Students, French) and Yade (female, American), Lei Kenan (Canadian) ), Floyd (British) and other four representatives traveled far and wide, and came to Yan'an for a visit to the Anti-Japanese University.They visited the dormitories, dining halls, study rooms and cave dwellings of the students, organized seminars and visits, watched educational training and cultural and sports activities, were greatly inspired and encouraged, and sincerely asked to be an honorary student of the Anti-Japanese University.In the name of Chairman Mao Zedong of the Education Committee and the head of the school, the Anti-Japanese University presented four representatives with the certificate of "Honorary Doctor of Anti-Japanese University", and presented souvenirs such as military uniforms, collar badges, symbols, graduation badges, etc. of the Anti-Japanese University.They said excitedly: "The Anti-Japanese University gave us four honorary doctorates. We have been honored to be students of the Anti-Japanese University, so we said: Yesterday was sent by the Federation of Students, so today is sent by China." Sure enough, after returning to China, they not only publicized the spirit of resistance to the Communist Party of China at the World Youth Congress, but also organized people to give reports at famous universities in the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Brussels (Belgium), and the Netherlands, "bringing the lives of Chinese youth Fight and spread it.” On June 1, 1939, when the Anti-Japanese University held its third anniversary commemorative meeting, Ke Leman also sent a congratulatory call on behalf of the World Federation of Students.The congratulatory message said: "Kangda's cause of fighting for China's independence and freedom has been well-known among student groups all over the world, and they are deeply admired by them."

The good influence of the Anti-Dalian University at home and abroad is a great encouragement and encouragement to the teachers and students of the Anti-Japanese University, so that the revolutionary spirit and traditional style of the Anti-Japanese University can be passed down from generation to generation.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, although the Anti-Japanese University has completed its historical mission and declared the end of victory, it has laid a good foundation for the construction of our army's academies, and created a great foundation for the rapid development of academies and education after the War of Liberation and the founding of the People's Republic of China. Favorable conditions have written a glorious chapter in the development history of my country's education.The spirit of anti-massage will shine forever!

In order to carry forward the glorious tradition of the Anti-Japanese University, on July 16, 1985, eight alumni of the Anti-Japanese University, including Xue Muqiao, Xing Yimin, Peng Youjin, Yang Zhengmin, Wang Yang, Niu Kelun, and Wu Fanwu, jointly wrote a letter to Hu Yaobang, General Secretary of the Party Central Committee, suggesting that A commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Anti-Japanese University was held around June 1, 1986, and specific ideas for commemorative activities were put forward.The Party Central Committee attached great importance to this and instructed the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee and the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army to make specific preparations.After nearly a year of preparation, on the afternoon of May 31, 1986, party and state leaders gathered at the People's Congress with more than 5,000 alumni of the Anti-Japanese University in Beijing and more than 1,000 teachers and students from the capital's education front.

I was so excited that I wrote a poem recalling the "Anti-Japanese War": Fifty years ago, the furnace was on fire, and at dusk I was still in lovesickness.

The old red is devoted to everything, and the new green is devoted to loyalty. "The more resistance, the greater" is unprecedented, and there are extraordinary achievements in destroying the bandits and Chiang Kai-shek.The Long March relay requires spirit, and the tradition of resisting the Great War shines brightly. "Old red", "new green": one of Yang Wanli's poems "Two Poems of Wind and Rain" in the Song Dynasty said: "Put ten thousand points of old red in exchange for a hundred thousand new green".Here, "old red" and "new green" are used to describe the older generation and the new generation.
